I live in the country and the amount of dogs running loose and dead on the side of the road is absolutely pitiful! We have a shelter and it doesn't cost anything to take them there but people just let them roam, lots of hunting dogs get lost and they leave them to find their way home. We are always having a stray wander into our yard, and have yet to find any owners of any of them! Had a beautiful rottie join us for awhile, very sweet and well behaved, you could tell he'd been loved and trained, tried for over a month to find his owners but no one would claim him. Took to the shelter for 30 days, still no luck. Happily, someone adopted him the very day he went up! If no one had, we would have went back and got him although I can't handle a dog that weighs more than I do!
Dogs deserve better treatment than that!
